Vendor Managed Inventory

What is WardBox®?

WardBox® is CH2’s just-in-time ‘direct to ward’ distribution model. Recognising the need for an efficient and reliable direct to ward supply solution, WardBox® is well established in many large public and private hospital facilities and pharmacy.

The WardBox® service incorporates barcode scanning technology, direct delivery to individual wards or departments, monthly invoicing and comprehensive reporting.

CH2 acts as the off premise storage facility that supplies products on  a daily or weekly basis, or as required. The ordering schedule is designed to assist each healthcare facility with their movement of essential supplies and removes the need to carry a large quantity of products.

Orders are picked, packed and invoiced for the specific ward area and delivered to the hospital for direct unpacking in the ward.


Wardbox® operates under three general service models which can be adapted depending on individual customer requirements.

Our project management team have extensive experience in tailoring bespoke solutions that deliver cost and production efficiencies.
